Summary
“Who is that?” Ilya asks, his body swaying closer to the door as if on instinct.
The knocking continues, and Shane does the only thing he can think to do right now with Ilya still holding onto him, a towel wrapped around his waist. It’s not his finest idea; it would probably rank similarly to I’m clearing my head.
Which Hayden didn’t give a fuck about, apparently.
He unhands himself from Ilya, sliding the closet door they’d just clattered into open. “Get in.”
“You are putting me back in the closet?” Ilya asks flatly, still standing there, still in a towel.
“You’re not out of the closet, that’s the point,” Shane grits out, gesturing him in impatiently.

Summary
Ilya was only a few strides behind Shane on the ice.
He clocked the angle before the hit even landed; Marlow coming in too hot, too fast, shoulder high. Shane turned and slowed at the wrong moment, skates clipping, balance gone.
Impact.
The sound carried oddly through the arena, duller than boards, sharper than ice. Shane went down hard, helmet skidding, body twisting. And then it all happened at once. Skates tangled. Marlow stumbled over him as he fell, too. A skate’s blade flashed too close, too sharp.
--------------------------------
Shane's injuries during the Boston/Montreal game are much more life-threatening than in canon. Ilya's quick thinking and bone-deep instincts are the only reason he survives.

Summary
The anger finally bubbles over and he does something he’s never felt the urge to do before, he drops his gloves and grabs the front of his black Boston jersey before punching him in the face.
Or
Shane and Ilya fight on the ice and get mutually turned on

Summary
“Why are you here?” Ilya asked, very quietly.
It still felt like a slap.
Shane must have let out a sound of some sort, because Ilya turned to look at him, finally.
“Did not mean it like that,” Ilya said. “Just… surprised.”
Shane shifted awkwardly from one foot to the next, as if he was suddenly coming to the realization that he had no right to be here at all. “I got a call from the hospital,” he explained. “They told me I’m your emergency contact.”
“Sorry,” Ilya said, in such a quiet voice it was almost impossible to hear him. “I forgot to change it.”
Shane could only frown. That did not make him any less confused. “I guess I just… I don’t understand why you put me down as your emergency contact in the first place. It’s not like we…”
Ilya took a couple of deep breaths. It looked like they were painful. His eyes slid away from Shane, like he couldn’t bear to look at him. “Did not have anyone else,” he admitted, and now his voice was the smallest Shane had ever heard it, like Ilya was trying to disappear as the words left him. “I’m sorry.”--
Or: Ilya has a car accident. Shane is his emergency contact... even though they're no longer seeing each other.
